A Riesling-Sylvaner from the host canton was served as an aperitif."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>The Ordre de la Channe was created in 1957 and now has more than 800 members. It maintains the wine-growing traditions of the Canton of Valais (Switzerland), whose wines it promotes. With its more than 5000 hectares, the Valais vineyard represents about a third of the Swiss vineyard. Some 56 grape varieties are grown here, allowing a very wide array of excellent wines, favoured by its sunny climate and its hillsides clinging to the beautiful mountains of Valais. Most of the great international grape varieties thrive here, while very local varieties, such as Humagne rouge or Petite Arvine, offer beautiful discoveries.    <\/p>\n\n<p>As every year, this Autumn Chapter was held in another Swiss canton to promote Valais wines: this year, the canton of Berne and the charming city of Thun were chosen, with its magnificent old town on an islet surrounded by the Aare, on the edge of a splendid lake surrounded by already snow-covered mountains. The induction ceremony and associated festivities were masterfully conducted by the Procureur (= Grand Master) Patrick BEROD, assisted by his 18 Officers and by Heinz LIENER, the Vid\u00f4me (= Ambassador) of the Order for the Canton of Berne. About ten inductions were performed, including those of Ms. Marianne STREIFF-FELLER, National Councilor (= Member of the Swiss Parliament), Mr. Peter SIEGENTHALER, Vice-Mayor of Thun, and Mr. Alan BRYDEN, President of the F.I.C.B., who brought the friendly greetings of our member brotherhoods and awarded the medal of our Federation to Heinz LIENER.  <\/p>\n\n<p><br\/>La c\u00e9r\u00e9monie et le repas qui a suivi ont \u00e9t\u00e9 enchant\u00e9s par le Ch\u0153ur des Gais chanteurs de l\u2019Ordre de la Channe dont le r\u00e9pertoire c\u00e9l\u00e8bre la vigne et le vin, avec l\u2019humour des vignerons valaisans.
